Description
By other browsers, only Firefox and Chrome have been tested for now. But it should be enough since there are only Chromium-based and non-Chromium-based browsers now.
Accessing https://www.bing.com/ using both simple browser example and other browser and one can see obvious difference. The screenshot attached (bing_chat) if for Firefox using top command. Firefox uses ~40% and QtWebEngine + simplebroswer itself combined uses ~70%.
I blame the dynamic bing chat component for the numbers. So I also tested without bing chat. The numbers drop significantly, but still not comparable. See no_bing_chat.png. Firefox is about 0.3% and QtWebEngine is 4.3%. simplebrowser is not listed probably because it is around 0%.
Update:
Firefox may not be a suitable example since I was told that the process "Isolated Web Co" is also part of Firefox. So it combined with firefox consumes more CPU resources. But also, I received such numbers from customer:
[google-chrome]
chrome 66.8
gnome-shell 32.9
chrome 17.6
[simplebrowser]
simplebrowser 145.2
gnome-shell 51.2
QtWebEngineProc 15.3
So maybe it is still a valid issue, unless there are also dependency processes related to Chrome too?
